Layoff
A layoff[1] is the temporary suspension or permanent termination of
employment of an employee or, more commonly, a group of employees
(collective layoff)[2] for business reasons, such as personnel
management or downsizing an organization. Originally, layoff referred
exclusively to a temporary interruption in work, or employment[3] but
this has evolved to a permanent elimination of a position in both
British and US English,[1][not in citation given] requiring the
addition of "temporary" to specify the original meaning of the word. A
layoff is not to be confused with wrongful termination. Laid off
workers or displaced workers are workers who have lost or left their
jobs because their employer has closed or moved, there was
insufficient work for them to do, or their position or shift was
abolished (Borbely, 2011).[4][5] Downsizing in a company is defined to
involve the reduction of employees in a workforce
